5 stars This is the first Llama Llama book I ever read and it is still my favorite. I love this book. I love the pictures, I love the rhymes, and I love how relatable it is. Such a great book. There are so many awesome Llama Llama books, but this one will always shine…

4 stars A heartwarming story about a friendly witch, her helpful friends, and a beautiful lesson on friendship. This is such an adorable book. My first introduction to Julia Donaldson was The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo’s Child books. I then watched the TV adaptations on Netflix. This led me to the TV adaptation of Room…

3 stars A cute Clifford story that teaches kids how to accept gifts and the importance of friends and family. There are some weird parts in the story (kids just not coming to the party because they weren’t sure about their presents? secretly regifting something right in front of the person who gave it to…

3 stars A cute book with Clifford’s origin story. It is very interesting to see why Clifford is a big as he is. As with the first Clifford book, simple narration and nice pictures. Overall, and interesting and entertaining book.

3 stars A cute little book about everyone’s favorite big red dog. The text in the book is very simple and easy to read. There are many vague comments in the narration (“He makes mistakes sometimes.”) that work well in combination with the pictures (fetching a police officer’s baton). Simple and fun, this is a…

5 stars I used to read this book all the time when I was a kid. I absolutely loved it. I remember sitting in my closet (where I stored my bookshelf for some reason) reading it and being slightly terrified that a vampiric Lagomorpha would jump out at me at any moment. I had a…

4 stars As Lawson clearly states in the beginning of this book, if you don’t like funny books about mental illness, do not read this book. Pretty simple. If you are looking for a serious discussion on mental health and how to “fix” yourself, look elsewhere. This is not that book. Now onto what this…

3 stars Overall, a good introduction to the fascinating person that is Ruth Bader Ginsburg. This is an interesting book that combines the non-fiction element of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s actual life with the pop culture phenomenon that is Notorious RBG. This is great, because it appeals to a younger audience who may otherwise know nothing…

3 stars A good collection of comics based on various fables. I read Chris Duffy’s Fairy Tale Comics right before this, which I think set the standards pretty high for this one. I loved the Fairy Tale collection. The artwork was beautiful (and often hilarious) and the stories were great. I did not enjoy this one as…

4 stars A fantastic collection of fairy tales in the form of comics. The book features various tales, from big ones from the Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault to lesser known ones such as “The Small Tooth Dog”. I really enjoyed the various interpretations of the original tales. My favorite was Raina Telgemeier’s “Rapunzel”. Great…
